And we believe that Charlotte is strongest when we protect one another and refuse to look away. (15/15)

Our commitment is rooted in our faith and our mission. We believe in liberation, dignity, and justice for all people. We believe that community care is a form of resistance. (14/15)

If you hold privilege or citizenship, use your voice and your presence to protect those who are being targeted. Harm thrives when communities turn away. Solidarity saves lives. Wedgewood will continue to speak truth, organize with our partners, and stand with immigrant and refugee families. (13/15)

Document encounters safely if you witness Border Patrol or ICE. Provide direct help when requested, including rides, food, childcare, translation, or accompaniment. Speak out when you see profiling or harassment. Let places of worship and community groups know that silence is not an option. (12/15)

We call on everyone, especially faith communities, in Charlotte to take action.

Check on your neighbors. Offer support without judgment. Share accurate information and avoid spreading rumors. Support the frontline organizations doing critical work, like the Carolina Migrant Network. (11/15)

Our interfaith identity reminds us that every tradition represented in our community teaches the same truth: we are called to protect the vulnerable, challenge injustice, and create sanctuary wherever we can. (9/15)

Wedgewood’s mission is to build a beloved community grounded in compassion, justice, and solidarity. We believe that faith is measured not by words, but by how we show up for one another, especially when people are harmed by systems of violence. (8/15)

To date, more than 130 arrests have been made. The scale and speed of these raids, combined with the use of masks, rifles, and unmarked vehicles, raise concerns about racial profiling, violations of due process, and the intentional creation of fear among Black, Brown, & immigrant communities. (7/15)

Community members were stopped while walking on sidewalks or leaving grocery stores.

Federal officials reported at least 81 arrests within five hours on Saturday, making it one of the largest single day immigration sweeps in North Carolina history. (6/15)

One man appeared to collapse during an encounter near a church in east Charlotte this weekend. A teenage employee was thrown to the ground and detained outside Super G Mart in Pineville. Parents were detained in full view of their children. (5/15)

Federal agents in unmarked SUVs, wearing masks and carrying rifles, have flooded neighborhoods, shopping centers, parking lots, churches, and residential areas. Witnesses report people being tackled or restrained without clear cause. (4/15)

What happened in our city violates these core values and the dignity of our immigrant and refugee neighbors.

This is not routine enforcement. It is a coordinated, militarized operation that places entire communities at risk. (3/15)

As an interfaith community of faith rooted in social justice, we believe that every human being is sacred, every family deserves safety, and every neighbor deserves the right to live in their community without fear. (2/15)
